How many trucking companies register in Texas?
Over the last four weeks, an average of 256 new for-hire carriers registered with the FMCSA in Texas each week, and the largest new fleet this week has 27 trucks. A for-hire carrier has to have liability coverage on file before its authority becomes active, so new registrations are the earliest point at which an insurance agent can reach them.
Where these numbers come from
The FMCSA Company Census File is the US Department of Transportation's public register of motor carriers. These figures count active carriers in Texas that registered as authorized for hire, by registration date. Company names and contact details are not published here; they are in the weekly list.
